MGE Energy Reports First-Quarter 2022 Earnings

MGE Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGEE), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2022.

MGE Energy's GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) earnings for the first quarter of 2022 were $34.4 million, or $0.95 cents per share, compared to $34.9 million, or $0.97 cents per share, for the same period in the prior year.

During the first quarter of 2022, colder weather led to an increase in gas retail sales of approximately 4% compared to the same period in the prior year. The average temperature in January 2022 was approximately 15 degrees compared to approximately 22 degrees in January 2021. The normal average temperature for January is 20 degrees.

Timing of 2021 depreciation and other operations and maintenance costs contributed to higher electric earnings in the first quarter of 2021. Depreciation and operations and maintenance costs increased during the remainder of 2021 after significant capital projects were completed. The new customer information system went live in September 2021 and Badger Hollow I was completed in November 2021. The first phase of the Badger Hollow Solar Farm is part of significant new and planned investment in renewable generation to advance the company's goal of deep decarbonization, targeting carbon reductions of at least 80% by 2030 and net-zero carbon electricity by 2050.
